Here is this week's WND.com article, Let Rev. Manning be heard! Are the Obama forces now openly seeking to abuse law enforcement powers to intimidate and silence an outspoken opponent? As always, feel free to return here for comment.

May God Bless and Protect our outspoken voice of freedom, the Rev. James David Manning. He is among the very few voices of common sense and justice today. I would hope to see Amb. Alan Keys and he run for office of President and Vice President soon for the sake of our country. The last time I checked, the First Amendment was still in effect, although severely injured. This is still The United States of America, Thank God Almighty.

I don't think any of us are surprised? Although Manning's techniques were a little out there, he still had the First Amendment. Now we see the fine line the Obama administration has created with that right as well. Everyone knows Manning is not a threat, but they will harass him. I doubt he will shut up.

That thing he has about calling Barack "the long-legged Macdaddy" all the time is kind of threatening, if you ask me. Maybe it's just me, but that particular designation...very expressive of deep contempt.

But of course, I can't recall a single prominent liberal who didn't openly and directly call for the death of President Bush.

More to the point, when are they going to come and arrest me? I won't claim to be looking forward to it or anything, but let's just get it over with. Whatever.

During the last six months or so, I have learned to love Dr. James David Manning as if he were my own Pastor. I've listened to his radio show, called in and spoken with him on a couple of occasions. He is an amazingly humble man, with an innate sense of humor. Like others, I thought he was "out there" at first, but I soon came to love the man and his style. One cannot argue with his right to free speech and expression. He neither did nor said anything that would be considered a threat to the President of the United States, whomever it may be. I, too, believe that Obama is a fraud, his administration is a fraud, his czars are frauds, and the Democratic Party are frauds. They ALL knew Obama was not eligible for the office he seeks (present tense, because he still hasn't proven his eligibility). In fact, the current Administration is more like the Obama Mafia than a Presidency. They're like spoiled children who don't get their way, throwing a tantrum about someone speaking out against them.

When did we become like communist China? The manipulation of our media and the Administration's attempts to "collect" information about those who oppose his policies sounds like a repressive regime to me. Does no one else see this? I'm aware that many do...many in my family don't. It is so sad I almost cry. But there's no time to cry, we must be about the Father's business, and I believe that opposing the current goons occupying the White House is a part of my Father's business. We must oppose this evil in our midst, or it will consume us.

Chiu--"the long-legged mac daddy" was one of my favorites. I laughed so hard the first time I heard him say that. I don't think it was uttered in deep contempt, I think it was an attempt to poke fun at a fraudulent president. But, every person perceives things through their own world view. AND, you are entitled to think and say what you think. I am, too. Rev. Manning should have the same rights as you and I. He shouldn't be curtailed simply because he reaches a bigger audience than you and me.

Okay, so let me get this straight......the same constitutional right that allows enemies of our country to burn our flag on our own soil under the guise of freedom of speech does not protect the reverend from voicing his opinion of and opposition to the communist in chief.

Dr. Keyes, I was hoping you were aware of this situation. I have loved Dr. Manning for almost a year now and my 79 year old grandma now calls Obama the long-legged mac daddy!

Growing up in the South amongst black and white folk, that phrase is not unusual.

I am praying for Rev. Manning too because he used to be invited as a guest on FOX News and they too turned their backs on him. It must be a shame to be a multi-billion dollar industry and be scared of Obama... I stopped reading their website or watching their news when they would not give the truth to us about this illegal alien usurper that continues to curse OUR White House.

Where is the birth certificate and DO YOU STILL HAVE THOSE RELATIONS WITH LARRY SINCLAIR (MONICA LEWINSKY RELATIONS!), AKA Barack HUSSEIN Obama???????????

Well said, I couldn't have said it better! I have also been following Rev James Manning's videos from time to time. You know where I stand about freedom of speech and expression, especially when initiating the largest myspace forum thread about Obama's Birth Certificate issue under the 1st Amendment! The original thread with over 11,500 replies got deleted by moderators, but the new one is picking up pace. Talking about freedom of speech, have you guys read my article about the UN Parliamentary Assembly Campaign proposal (first of its kind) on my blog? Very few had access to the paper, I'm one of them! Its an eye opener!

I just really, really detest and loathe daddy long-legs...they're complete aberrations of nature. They're horrible in so many ways and on so many levels...death is too good for them, but what can you do about it? The main reason I resent intrusion on the Second Amendment is because I need a pocket flamethrower in case I encounter one of those...things.

So, even if Obama deserves to be compared to...something that surpasses simple abomination and enters the realm of abyssal denizen (and I don't know that he does), it's still pretty threatening to say it. I love hearing Rev. Manning say it, but it's something of a guilty pleasure.

how threatening are spurious obama's words? more importantly his actions? his true "color" is being revealed, it's transparent. He breaks all the commandments of God and expects no judgement from it? Repent spurious obama.

Mr. Keyes, in your opinion, are there sufficient grounds for impeachment? Not that there are any in congress with the intestinal fortitude to do so. I view this administration as the greatest threat to our republic since the Revolution as too many of our dumbed down public perceive or care about what is taking place.

You have a great blog here. I'm a first time visitor, but I'm very impressed. I have a debate site myself where people from around the world debate each other on important issues. I was wondering if we could do a link exchange to help spread some traffic around.

If you would like to, please leave a comment under my "Compadres" page stating that you've added my link and I'll return the favor.

My impression has always been that a "Mac Daddy" is some sort of a pimp. Since Barack Hussein -The long-legged Mac Daddy- Obama has, well, long legs in addition to possessing certain characteristics related to the other term, I always thought Manning was simply calling him a long-legged pimp of sorts. I didn't know there was any connection to "daddy long-legs." I guess Manning ought to make reference to some other noticeable feature on Hussein's person. How about calling him, as an alternative, "the jug-eared Mac Daddy." That doesn't have threatening connotations, does it?

But yes, daddy long-legs are rather vile looking, repugnant creatures, though I personally have no phobia of them. On the other hand, to my mind the only good kind of snake is the dead kind, as the saying goes. Since I've referred to John McCain as all manner of slithering snake in the past, I suppose that could be construed as a threat against McCain's life. Go figure.

Shortly following Barack Hussein -the long-legged, jug-eared, slithering snake-in-the-grass pimp daddy- Obama's "election," an Oklahoma City man was stopped by OKC law enforcement after an officer saw a home made sign posted on the tailgate of his pickup truck. The sign read "Abort Obama." Of course, any normal, rational person would understand that there is nothing inherently threatening about the sign's message, the guy was simply trying to make a point. But that didn't prevent the officer from pulling him over and confiscating the sign, on the basis that it was threatening. The officer went even further and notified the feds. And accordingly, several hours later the man in question was graced with a visit to his home by federal officers.

Such, I suppose, is the burden of those of us who seek to expose Hussein -the closet Muslim Mac Daddy- Obama for what he really is.

I just looked up the definition (urban) of a mack daddy. It's someone who is anywhere from an ultra pimp to someone who gets whatever he wants, especially women. 'nough said.

As far as Rev. Manning's comments, he does come close to the line when he mentions the appropriate punishment for a traitor or someone who works on behalf of foreign interests to the detriment of our own. BUT, he doesn't say this should be done without due process. That's the key. No one should take the law into their own hands. Let the legal wheels turn.

In any event, BO is doing what tyrants do. Making enemies lists and using the threat of brute force to silence dissent. Bill Clinton used the IRS to go after his foes. Whatever. It's to be expected. We know who they are. The only question is: when will this come to a head?

Pray, Fellow Americans, pray hard that people like Dr. Keyes and Rev. Manning get the word out. I am so hurt by the way Rev. Manning is treated while Rev. Wright in Chicago is exalted as a loving "uncle" ... a good friend to Mr. Obama and his little daughters. That frightens me.

Well ain't it grand? This is just one of MANY such infractions BOBO the prez and his gangsta buds are perpetrating on all Americans. Every single day, including holidays, I hear of one or two...sometimes three MORE things those criminals are doing to usurp the individual and the nation. Reverend Manning never seemed out there to me at all.

There are many groups, which are ever increasing, of people who are taking actions and preparations for what IS going to happen. I pray I am ready when it comes, but you all should also prepare for living in the dark ages. Being a righteous individual will never have been so difficult to both grasp and to hold in the near future.

Much as I agree with some of the things Manning says I also disagree with others. For example on his website he had that political movement platform. So I went into it to hear what it's about. Good thing I did not join. On it he said he wanted to promote Palin for president. Then later I think he rekanted that position. Well, sorry but I cannot join any movement that would promote Palin for president. Now Alan Keyes for president, that's a winning ticket in my book!

THOUGHTLET-The Enemy of my Enemy is ?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I've never been sure the old maxim made much sense. It gives your enemies rather too much control over the identification of your friends. What's more, it allows people who really aren't your friends to identify themselves as such just by opposing your enemies. Doesn't that make it easier for your enemies to plant agents in your midst with no more effort than it takes to stage a phony brawl?Because they live in such a hostile media environment, conservatives are all too willing to embrace any media voice that seems to take on their left wing opponents. But this means that at critical moments (particularly when it comes to personnel choices) they will be susceptible to information provided by people who have only been fighting with their enemies in order to get into a better position to do in the people whose sincerity, ability and leadership offer conservatives the greatest promise of success.In this regard I have observed that the most important information conservatives can get from Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel is silence: the things and people Fox positively ignores. You can be sure someone you know to be conservative is standing firm for what's right when you can't remember the last time you saw or heard anything positive about them on Fox News. Think of all the reporting they've done on the issue of Obama's eligibility for the Presidency.Listen to the silence. Better yet, learn from it.

THOUGHTLET "A little thought (that) goes a long way."

During my service as an Ambassador and Assistant Secretary of State under President Reagan, a quiet but constant tug of war went on between the Reagan conservatives and the Bush Republicans, though supposedly all of us were pulling in the same direction.My brief as Assistant Secretary for International Organizations (IO- the bureau that, among other things, keeps track of the goings-on at the United Nations)included implementing Reagan's policy of withholding U.S. contributions to the UN until real management reforms were agreed upon and carried forward.I also got involved with issues that reflected Reagan's principled pro-life stands, and his strong commitment to defend Israel from the Arab inspired lynch mob more or less permanently on call throughout the UN system during those years.

Apparently one of the more polite terms of opprobrium the Bush forces used to pan conservatives like me was that we were excessively "ideological".To tell the truth, I always wore the intended slight as a badge of honor, sinceit signified theirreaction to my consistent efforts to make sure my actions served the ideas and principles Reagan stood for.

Meanwhile whether in or out of power the leftists who control the Democrat party have had no qualms about being "excessively ideological."While the Bush Republicans obligingly kept real conservatives running in place throughout their years of pre-eminence (while sopping them periodically with rhetoric and phony gestures of support), the Democrats looked for ways to promote their agenda of abortion, state atheism, and the erosive destruction of the traditional family (It's the major obstacle to totalitarian government control of the society.)Now that the leftists are surging with confidence, Obama shows no qualms about promoting "excessively ideological" extremists like Chas Freeman and Kathleen Sebelius to positions of controlling authority in the areas where they can do the most harm (from a conservative point of view.)Instead of running in place, they're poised to rush forward, like a good running back exploiting the chink of daylight that signals the way to at least a first down and who knows what more beyond that.

When are conservatives going to wake up and ponder the fact that the acronym for Running In Place is- R.I.P.

As I consider the reaction to my statement that Obama is a communist, I realize how thoroughly the Obama faction's media claque takes advantage of the ignorance even of those who are supposed to be educated and sophisticated spokespeople for conservative views. In this respect I am somewhat disadvantaged by my relatively small stake in this ignorance when it comes to political theory and ideology. For instance, people tend to associate the term "communist" with the violent takeover of government and society. Yet a thoroughly committed communist like Italy's Antonio Gramsci developed an understanding of the nature of political control, and therefore the path to power over a society, far more sophisticated than Marx's economic determinism. (Or was it in fact a more sophisticated understanding of economics?) It was therefore better suited to understanding and exploiting the "ideological" (i.e., spiritual and moral) vulnerabilities of the opponents of communism. In particular, his theories allowed for far greater use of cultural influences (the news and entertainment media, churches and other religious institutions, movements like "gay rights" that contribute to the destruction of moral institutions like the family, etc.) than some people associate with the term "communism". They helped later leftists to understand, explain and avoid (by learning from and adapting the enemy's tactics) defeats like those that fascism inflicted on mid-twentieth century communism in Italy and elsewhere.Reading Gramsci, one senses that he is looking at the intellectual framework for the Obama faction's secret strategic plan. As Sherlock Holmes knew, there's sometimes no hiding place more secure than one that is in plain sight. Especially in an era when the leftist takeover of education produces fewer and fewer people in each generation who bother to read books, especially the ones without pictures in them. (There's a good summary of Gramsci's thinking at http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-gram.htm)

Apparently most of the people in Congress who voted on the so-called stimulus package had no time to read it, even superficially. That might seem like fodder for a late night comedy routine, until it occurs to you to wonder who did read it? After all, if the elected representatives of the people are just rubber stamping legislation prepared for them by others, its drafters are the ones dictating the decision. Congress sinks into the role reserved for the People's Congresses in places like North Korea or the now defunct Soviet Union. How quickly the substance of constitutional self-government is being turned into the perfunctory sham characteristic of stolid party dictatorships ruled from the background by a handful of unaccountable little despots.

How many Americans wake up every day longing to live under party dictators, worshiping at the altar of a propagandized personality cult, in a world where party hacks offer the only hope of relief from bureaucratic tyranny? All in exchange for a surfeit of meaningless sex and the license to kill your unwanted offspring.

I used always to think of places under communist yoke as regions languishing under perpetually cloudy skies. Actually though, it wasn't the sun's light it cut off, but the light of true human personality. Would any sane people exchange even the worst risks of life in freedom for such soul stifling banality? Will we?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's not a thought likely to occur to anyone thinking about the banking system these days. It's broke alright. Insolvency is the word of the day, along with that other word, nationalization. Funny how so many people who think the nation state has effectively ceased to exist when it comes to borders and immigration suddenly rediscover its powers when it's time to take over the banks.

"But Alan," you protest "we badly need a solution." Which, I reply, is not a good reason to accept a bad one. In fact , if things have gotten as bad as they say, maybe we should step back so as to let our thinking leap forward.

True, If it ain't broke, you don't fix it. But if it's really broke, you don't fix it either, you throw it away and replace it with something that works better. Instead of taking the bad logic of a failed centralized banking system to its logical conclusion (total centralization), replace the logic with something more suited to the twenty-first century. The twentieth century was all about bigger, more regulated and extensive organization. The hallmark of the twenty-first is the network, the model work-in-progress of which is the internet. It depends on decentralized, individual units, that reach out and form communities based on direct interaction and mutual assessment, rather than a centrally determined distribution of information (like a central bank's fixing the interest rate.)

If the present banking system is failing- let it fail. That's the first step in preparing the way for the emergence of twenty-first century financial networks. Instead of pretending that bankrupt governments can magically save a bankrupt system, accept the fact that the financial Titanic is sinking. Get people out of it, and use what resources we have to construct and launch the fleet of lifeboats in which they can distance themselves from the vortex it causes as it goes down. What I think we'll discover is that the new system we need will emerge from the resulting fleet, as we use twenty-first century tools to turn it into a floating net that won't be susceptible to the cascading disasters of the obsolete vessel. This deserves longer thought, which I give it in the essay Real Change Step Two: Replacing the Federal Reserve.

I think it's not an accident that the American founders spoke of the people as a body (that is an organic whole), but the leftist proto-totalitarians that tutor socialists like Obama speak of them as "the masses." A mass is composed of conceptually identical parts, whereas the body is an organic whole in which each part is defined and differentiated by its individual purpose with respect to the whole. Is this why there are so many examples of totalitarian regimes that treat people as if they are mounds of dirt to be shaped and repressed, used or discarded (killed) without respect for their individuality? This totalitarian mentality finds a counterpart in the approach that claims to deal with human affairs scientifically, on the assumption that people are no different than other merely physical things.

Here is an audio compilation of the Thoughtlets I post every now and then. I'm making them available as a podcast at http://loyaltoliberty.podbean.com/. They are also accessible as an audio feed. Visit the site, and spread the word. The little thoughts are now consumable as little soundbites. They could be a great way to introduce Loyal to Liberty to people you know.

About Your Host

For a long while I have been involved in government, politics and citizen activism. I am Christian, Catholic, Pro-life and pro-liberty. I am sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and the republican form of government it establishes. I uphold and seek to preserve the sovereignty of the American people, and to restore respect for the principles set forth in the American Declaration of Independence. In light of those principles, I believe the top priority of our political life is to restore respect for the existence and authority of the Creator, God and to rebuild the moral conscience and character of the American people on the basis of that respect; For God, Liberty and the Constitution.

What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship.

Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is his grab for unchecked partisan control over the conduct of the next census. Skillful manipulation of the census could make the decisive contribution to establishing an electorally unchallengeable party monopoly, which would then provide the basis for consolidating party dictatorship. If such dictatorship were not part of their agenda, the Obama faction would leave ultimate oversight of the census process where the Constitution places it, in the hands of the legislative branch. As it clearly is part of their agenda, only ignorance or willful stupidity blinds people to Obama's ambition to establish a better tailored version of Soviet-style government in the U.S.

Of course, there may be another name for what keeps some of the so-called Republicans from speaking out about it. Could it be cowardice?

Everyone's fussing over whether the Alleged Usurper's stimulus plan will help or hurt the economy. Are they missing the point? Massive taxpayer resources are being pumped into Obama's powerbase. His cohorts grow stronger, while the larger economic impact of the plan makes everyone else weaker. Not much of a recovery plan, but a great strategy for securing power.

Then there are all those Hamas loving Palestinians he's using taxpayer money to bring to the U.S. After 9/11 the Palestinians danced in their streets. This time they won't have far to go to dance on our graves.
